Late Night Highlights: Letterman and the Na'vi Reach Out to Conan, Bill Cosby Reflects

Everybody has something to say about NBC's epic mishandling of its late night line-up, especially Conan O'Brien. After a vicious monologue last night, but before the statement that would change us all, the Tonight Show revisited the topic of his time slot slight while role-playing with a Na'vi and then channeling his aggression into one menacing stare, as supervised by Gary Oldman. For those videos, along with David Letterman's free advice to NBC, and the other clips you missed while perfecting your Fox sign-off, join us after the jump.

Even comedy legend Bill Cosby fit in a few sucker punches to NBC last night after an audience member's cell phone beeped. And then the comedy legend regaled the crowd with stories from his childhood.

You Know You've Been Blown Off By Chelsea Handler When...

You get a text message from her at 4:45 a.m. saying that she can't have dinner tomorrow because she is helping pregnant teens. In Handler's defense though, you'd probably blow off Giuliana and Bill Rancic too if you knew they'd spend the whole night talking about "old eggs" and "old sperm."

Letterman's Free Advice

After delivering an NBC-in-turmoil-themed Top Ten, the Late Show host offered up his own road-tested advice on dealing with NBC.

Na'vi Assistants

'Lick the Situation for $500'

That was Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino's response to Jay Leno's question: "What was your biggest tip while working as a stripper and what did you have to do to get it?" Yes, he let a woman lick his situation and then tip him for the favor. Would you believe that "the Situation" could also quote Kindergarten Cop as his favorite movie and name five Jack Nicholson movies during last night's Ten@Ten segment on the aborted Jay Leno Show?
